Eating for health living means more than just eating to maintain a healthy weight or to encourage weight loss. Healthy eating has become an all-encompassing lifestyle method, which includes maintaining overall health by consuming food rich in certain nutrients or minerals. Serotonin has been linked to eating specific foods, and its role in human physiology is a frequent subject of scientific study for improving mental health and happiness.

Social prescribing can only play a limited role in helping folks living with serious mental ill-health. A news story on social prescribing boomed out of my radio on Monday morning – another jolly report about how this was the way to manage long-term conditions in the community. NHS England had announced a plan to roll out the scheme across the country by recruiting 1,000 social prescribing “link workers” to support GPs and help people improve their health and well-being.

There is an emotionality associated with the making, the ownership, the giving and receiving, and the use of fabric objects. Across generations and cultures people (often women) have made textiles to use for function or decoration. Fabric and threads can have a much deeper significance. Throughout my personal life I have enjoyed creating things with textiles and I would consider sewing to be therapeutic, either because the familiar and repetitive movements have soothed me, or, because I have exp

Thousands of nonprofits rely on case management software to help collect data, manage programs, coordinate with agencies, and provide life-changing health and human services. Adopting a cloud-based case management platform is essential for nonprofits and government agencies to operate more efficiently and make better use of their funding and budget.

The How to Social Worker. Proven Topics for Growth in Clinical Supervision. Growing in Clinical Supervision Clinical supervision is critical to help you grow as a clinician. So let me rephrase that. If you want to grow, embrace your supervisor’s attention. Your ability to quickly grow in your role is dependent upon engaging consistently. It is this consistency that supports your learning and application to your job. […].

Mentalizing is the psychological capacity to reflect and understand behavior in terms of internal mental states, such as thoughts, feelings, and intentions (Fonagy, Gergely, Jurist, & Target, 2002). A rapidly growing body of empirical evidence supports the notion that deficient mentalizing is a psychological mechanism underlying various psychopathologies (Katznelson, 2014); likewise, the promotion of mentalizing is seen as a common factor of treatment across different therapeutic approaches

(notes for a talk at Confer, 21st Sep 2019 ) Abstract Describing psychotherapy as a method of treatment is expedient in healthcare settings, but it would take a tin ear to not baulk at it as a characterisation of the therapeutic experience. To unpack our intuition that ‘treatment’ talk fails us, we may use Wittgenstein’s distinction between internal (constitutive) and external (two-part) relations.

"Segregated By Design" examines the forgotten history of how our federal, state and local governments unconstitutionally segregated every major metropolitan area in America through law and policy. This legacy of segregation in cities across the country (through a practice known as redlining) had deep social and economic repercussions on African Americans, in terms of where they could live, where they could attend school, and how they could ge

You may have the clinical skills to manage a private practice, but your success could actually hinge on marketing skills. For a thriving practice, you need to differentiate yourself from others and present yourself in a way that attracts referrals. These days, much of that happens online, including on social media. In this webinar, Gary Direnfeld will discuss how social media marketing can help you build your private practice and grow your client base.

How hard can it be to sit still for a morning to have your portrait painted by a group of budding amateur artists? Well actually not too hard but occupying the mind while remaining still can be a bit tricky. I began to think about the resultant pictures and how these artists would interpret me,not just the physical ,the outward presence but what would they see of me, of my soul, of who I was.

Going out for a night on the town isn’t unusual. Friends go out with friends to have some beers, maybe a few mixed drinks, or perhaps something stronger than that. Time passes, and suddenly, six hours have passed. That one friend that had a few beers has gone from a few, to an entire case of beers. Friends say that he passed out and it’s expected that he’ll just sleep off the alcohol and feel fine the next morning, but is that really the case?

Do I still have a blog? You wouldn’t know it by how infrequently I’ve updated it lately. Sometimes life can overwhelm. When that happens, I like to believe that I will always be plucky enough to fend off the doldrums and shake my fist defiantly at the obstacles that beset me. However, when illness weakens your knees and keeps you motionless in bed, is there enough pluck to lift your fist, never mind keep your spirits up?

Parents and the public are increasingly concerned that adolescents’ rapid adoption of the smartphone and other modern technologies is harming their mental health, and it is not uncommon for them to ask clinical psychologists and other mental health practitioners for guidance. Unfortunately, much of the research in this domain has yielded mixed results, which makes it difficult to offer concrete, evidence-based recommendations.

Yoga as a practice is hugely beneficial for a person’s health and recovery. Beyond the primary benefit of exercise, there are many other things to be gained through regularly practicing yoga. Utilizing yoga as a wellness tool and a way to stay healthy allows people, especially those in recovery for addiction and mental health issues, to focus on what the body can do on its own.
